I saw a boat for sale yesterday that had a hull configuration I hadn't seen before, and I think it just might work.

It was a Tuffy brand shallow tri-hull. The thing was 18' long, and 70" wide! That ought to make a decent shooting platform since I'm used to sharing a 4' by 4' platform with another shooter. The nose was squarish and the hull looked like it wouldn't draft as deep as other tri-hulls I've seen.
It's no flatbottom, but should take the waves a lot better and would be able to pull a skier too.

Anybody ever try one?
What do you think?

Here's a link to a new Tuffy ESOX model.

The usedTuffy I saw is from the 70's, has a small steering console, and a different well configuration, but the shape is essentially the same.

I've never heard of a Tuffy boat. But what the heck, I've shot a lot of fish off a really nice Ranger bass boat.

Here are some pics of the new tuffy's.
I hear they are big with the serious Musky and Walleye guys because of the longer live wells for long fish.

I used to work at Bedford Sales, the Ranger dealer in Morris and I always heard good things about Tuffy while working there.
